A solid-state drive is significantly faster than any normal hard disk. This is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the slower and warmer they become, at the same time an SDD uses modules of flash memory, therefore there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are drastically higher, which makes this kind of drives the right solution if speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a desktop or notebook and for storing data that's accessed often on web servers. A large number of service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on hard disk drives, but they use a couple of SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks have to spin less frequently to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Shared Web Hosting

Our state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform employs only SSD drives, so in case you get any of our shared web hosting solutions, you can take advantage of the speed that the drives provide. We no longer use HDDs, so your files, databases and email messages will all load from high-speed SSDs. For even greater performance, we use caching SSDs. Multiple drives are used by our system for any file which is accessed more frequently and the data on these drives is dynamically updated in order to ensure that all traffic-intensive files load from them. This way, the load on the primary drives is lowered, so we can guarantee perfect performance for all types of Internet sites no matter how frequently they're accessed and prevent a situation where some sites are affected by too many reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also increases the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the chance of disk failure.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, we'll store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not only for the files, but also for all databases and emails. This way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load speedily. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching too. Traffic-intensive website content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make certain that a number of heavy Internet sites that generate a lot of reading and writing processes will not impact the other Internet sites that share the exact same drive. By reducing the overall load we also increase the lifespan of the primary storage disks and lower the possibility of a disk failure, so by employing SSD drives for caching purposes, we add another level of protection for your website content.
